Kyiv under missiles, Palazzo Chigi sets next mobilization

The fact that changes the most compared to the morning is the Russian response. This morning we reported the Ukrainian raid with more than a thousand drones against Russian territory and Trump’s move on sanctions; overnight Moscow struck Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih and Sloviansk with 16 ballistic missiles against energy infrastructure. More than ten facilities damaged, half a million families without electricity, a 25-story building hit in Kyiv with one victim. This is an escalation, not a footnote: we record it in the opening.

At Palazzo Chigi, the issue left open this morning has been resolved: the security summit convened after the second night of guerrilla clashes in Milan has produced concrete content, not just the announcement of the meeting. The government is considering a measure modeled on the Caivano decree for minors involved in the clashes, while the toll rises to 14 wounded among law enforcement, 271 detained and 32 arrests. A new mobilization is already set for Saturday: the tension has not subsided with the summit, it has simply shifted by a few days.

We have also added the Spanish development — storm Adam’s death toll rises to four between Valencia and Alicante, with 145 municipalities under mobility restrictions and off-the-scale rainfall accumulations — and three pieces that broaden the afternoon’s scope: the Ema’s recommendations on six new drugs, OpenAI’s confirmation regarding its own humanoid robot accompanied by the admission of two unreported security incidents, and two reports from Paestum and the Rome Film Fest that update the day’s cultural and cinematic coverage.

For everything else, what was published this morning stands. Cronache, Economia e Mercati, Europa, Esteri e Geopolitica oltre Ucraina, Italia, Salute, Sport and Tech & AI remain with the 6:30 pieces, which are published and available: we did not reopen them because there were no developments to justify rewriting them. Two pieces that were in the works — on a curfew in France and on European stock markets — were not published: in both cases, the section is nonetheless covered by this morning’s article, there is no gap to report.

Tomorrow’s edition opens at 6:30 with full coverage of the ten sections.
